Get over it.  As long as they root for the Bobcats THIS WEEKEND, who cares who they support when we are not playing them HEAD to HEAD.

I enjoy OSU football.  I also enjoy OU football and basketball.  I will most certainly root for OU to beat OSU this weekend.  After that, I'll go back to supporting both every week.

I have no qualms with anyone who dislikes OSU.  I hate Notre Dame, and any team coached by Lane Kiffin.  The problem I have with this whole topic is the same as most others on this board.  Don't wear scarlet and grey if you're attending an OU game, and certainly not when we play them.  Outside of that, who cares.

OK. I respect that. I have alot of OSU family that supports the Buckeyes. But please understand the feeling that some of us get about the OSU gear around campus. I've watched this program struggle year in and year out to develop a fan base. We have a difficult time selling out. I believe we have better attendance when we aren't scheduled head to head with the Buckeyes. We have a student body that would rather sit home and watch the Buckeyes than come to a Bobcat game. We diehard alumni come back to Athens to watch a game, only to see loads of Scarlet jerseys walking down Court Street with no desire to head to Peden.

I would never say anything to these scarlet clad fans walking down court street. They are Buckeye fans. They don't care about the Bobcats. Don't you even get how a diehard Bobcat Football fan would be irritated by that in Athens? Can you even imagine walking down the streets of Columbus with Maize and Blue jerseys everywhere, none of them caring at all about a half empty Ohio Stadium?

I have only one loyalty, and that is to my Alma Mater. Go Cats!!

Just a quick opinion on OUr student support. I think it has been outstanding for the first two football games and there is no better student fan base in our league.

I don’t care what you do in your on home.  But when in Athens, on campus or at Ohio event, you don’t wear the colors of another school, be it Ohio State University at Columbus, Miami University of Ohio, Penn State or Clemson.  If someone’s parents went to Miami University of Ohio and they go to Ohio, should they wear Miami gear uptown or to the cafeteria?  No!!  If you are a big proponent of the NRA and a friend is shot and killed by someone with a handgun, do you drop off food at their house wearing and NRA shirt?  No.  Simply inappropriate.  When in Athens, on campus or at Ohio event, put the OSU gear down, and step back.

Word.

That is a definite yes. I have noticed student support much higher for the first two games. Now I hope that it doesn't drop after the Toledo performance, but a win on Saturday could take care of that for the next 10 years, HA!
The crowd as been particularly good for third down plays. Hopefully we can get the students (and community) more engaged the entire game, but all and all the support has been much improved this year.
